OTTO: 50% chaos, 50% charm, 100% your next best decision<br/>You know that dog that walks into a room like he owns it… trips over his own feet… and somehow still steals every heart in the building?<br/>Yeah. That’s Otto.<br/>He’s not even a year old yet, which means:<br/>• enthusiasm = high<br/>• coordination = optional<br/>• personality = absolutely off the charts<br/>Otto recently leveled up to group boarding/daycare/grooming foster life… and honestly? We were a little curious how that would go.<br/>Because let’s be real… this boy can be a bit of a bull in a china shop. (We blame the crazy mix… see link in this post! and maybe a sprinkle of chihuahua confidence.)<br/>But Otto said:<br/>“New environment? New dogs? Loud dryers?<br/>I GOT THIS.”<br/>And he did.<br/>He’s:<br/>• playful with other dogs<br/>• friendly with everyone he meets<br/>• learning how to match energy (and takes correction like a champ)<br/>• occasionally a little extra… but always in the most lovable way<br/>Vacuum?

OTTO: 50% chaos, 50% charm, 100% your next best decision
You know that dog that walks into a room like he owns it… trips over his own feet… and somehow still steals every heart in the building?
Yeah. That’s Otto.
He’s not even a year old yet, which means:
• enthusiasm = high
• coordination = optional
• personality = absolutely off the charts
Otto recently leveled up to group boarding/daycare/grooming foster life… and honestly? We were a little curious how that would go.
Because let’s be real… this boy can be a bit of a bull in a china shop. (We blame the crazy mix… see link in this post! and maybe a sprinkle of chihuahua confidence.)
But Otto said:
“New environment? New dogs? Loud dryers?
I GOT THIS.”
And he did.
He’s:
• playful with other dogs
• friendly with everyone he meets
• learning how to match energy (and takes correction like a champ)
• occasionally a little extra… but always in the most lovable way
Vacuum? Suspicious.
Broom? Questionable.

Make it make sense, Otto.
What we do know is this:
He’s the kind of dog that fills a house.
With laughter.
With movement.
With that “what is he doing now?” energy that somehow becomes your favorite part of the day.
He’s not a couch potato.
He’s not a background dog.
He’s a main character… and he’s looking for his peop
